So how do you then make improvements and breed in desirable traits?

Ok, so say you have bred a litter, dogs and bitches. You raise them, work them and decide that you want to fix some traits that you don't desire. How can you fix their flaws by breeding those same animals together? You've just established that they need improving, so how can anything be improved apon if your breeding 2 animals together that lack what you need?

Priority for any breeding (improvement of animals) is to make sure that neurological issues have no chance of developing. For livestock and mice that has been mentioned, have no issues in this area that's why they can be inbred time after time. Their not dogs, their extremely low IQ and stupid to put it simply. Dogs on the other hand are obviously different animals. Their train ability, intelligence and mental make up are key to having a well rounded, biddable, trainable animal that you can live with. Line breeding and inbreeding has it's place of course when trying to lock in

Twinned?

Agree with that first sentence. Why would anyone breed two siblings from the same litter? Genuine question. I wouldn't take a free pup from a brother sister mating, no benefits at all. Same exact genetics, no improvement to be gained.

Half brother and sister is one thing. That's part of a breeding process for line breeding and keeping things tight. But dogs from the same litter is surely amateur stuff imo. Madness.

How's your dog bred mate? Looks good from here

Cracker Reece bred mate by any chance? Similar to a few I've seen over the years. I may be wrong though. Cheers

Nice looking animal mate. How's he bred?

That a first cross then mate? Looks not a bad height from this angle. Cheers

Sounds an interesting cross. Probably be a better all-rounder than the bull whippet I would have thought. Better turn of speed perhaps?

Nice dogs mate. I would never have guessed their litter mates though. What was their sire and dam if you don't mind me asking? Cheers

Nice dogs mate. How's the big black lurcher dog bred? What height is he making so far? Cheers

How's he bred mate? Looks a nice type

Sounds like the type of pup most would love to have. Count yourself lucky mate
